Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
- ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.
- TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.
- ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.
- After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

theloadout.com/gta-5/agent-trevor-dlc-james-bond
Quick Glance: GTA 5's Scrapped 'James Bond Trevor' DLC Partially Filmed, Actor Reveals
- The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrapped sometime before 2017.
- Agent Trevor was originally one of three episodic packs planned for GTA 5’s post-launch story DLC, along with 'Zombie Apocalypse' and 'Alien Invasion.'
- While the DLC was silently axed sometime between 2013 (when it was initially announced) and 2017 (when its cancelation was confirmed), much of its content was adapted for GTA Online’s Doomsday and Diamond Casino heists.
- While all hopes of GTA 5 story DLC are dashed, maybe there’s a small sliver of hope that Rockstar will go back to producing story-based DLC when GTA 6 arrives.
